I made national news: NPR

[NickfromWI]

Tiny story about trees and the pending El Niño. Nothing too crazy, but it's neat to hear!

Congrats. Nice to hear about a tree guy in the news in a good way, instead of the usual bad ways (crane thru house, guy thru chipper, etc). Let's get more of these kind of stories!

Well done, Nick! That's a great job reping the industry.

 

[NickfromWI]

Thanks guys! It was short and sweet, nothing too complicated, but hopefully tree owners walk away understanding trees have a risk, but can be worked with

They did a good job of explaining what you do and why you do it. Well done, Nick.

[Mark Chisholm]

Good job little Nicky

 

[JontreeHI]

Gee, I've never heard the ISA put out something similar on public radio. This is the sort of thing that reaches and teaches a lot of people.

 

[Nish]

Nice words, nice write up, and nice website. And $20,000-$30,000 for two trees?!

 

[NickfromWI]

You've got to see these trees. They are insane. First off, surrounded by high voltage. No crane access. On a skinny street on a tight corner. You're gonna have to pay for 2 flaggers. You can't even do bucket trucks. Zero landing zone....maybe 10x10 to be honest. Wooden fence. both trees lean over the house. The roof is wood shake tile that is old. Nothing can touch it. Trees are 90+ ft tall, approx 48" DBH. That was a quick estimate I offered the interviewer when he asked. But yeah, I don't think I'd do those trees for less than $10,000 each.

I just checked but I don't have pics of it.

It's not looking hot these days. The drought wasn't nice to it. Hopefully El Niño will help.

I don't know that I'd be able to touch these trees Nick. That old roof certainly isn't inviting; if I can't see a sure way to keep everything clear of the high wires I don't even contemplate a price.

This gives a clue
